“The older sister was surprised and taught me a few more pieces. I only needed to hear them once each time before I could play them from memory. The next day, she told Bennett and Sophie that I had a talent for piano and should learn it professionally. But Sophic scolded her, saying she was scheming to cheat them out of money. After that, they beat me again, saying I was neglecting my duties at home by running around outside. I never brought up learning the piano again. 

“Later, in middle school, I worked for two months during the summer break at a piano shop. The owner noticed I have perfect pitch and had me play the piano every day as a way to attract customers. I played so often that I naturally became more proficient.” 

Emyr fixed his gaze on her profile, his expression unreadable. 

Her tone was calm, her eyes devoid of emotion, as if she were merely recounting the weather. 

But the more she spoke in such a detached manner, the heavier his heart felt. A tight, indescribable pressure settled in his chest. 

He had never been one to sympathize with others. He never wasted emotions on people who didn’t concern 

him. 

Yet with her, he couldn’t help it. 

Charmaine lifted her head and met his deep, intense gaze. She chuckled, once again putting on her usual carefree demeanor. “Why that face, Mr. Emyr? That was a long time ago. I don’t care anymore.” 

She spoke lightheartedly. “Besides, Bennett and Sophie are bankrupt now. I’d say I’ve gotten my revenge.” 

Emyr’s voice was cold. “What they suffered is far from enough.” 

Charmaine was momentarily stunned. Understanding his implication, she curved her lips into a smirk, her eyes glinting with darkness. 

They had exchanged their own daughter for hers, stolen her life, drained her blood, and treated her like trash. 

Was mere bankruptcy enough? 

This was only the beginning. 

Charmaine blinked, suppressing the storm brewing inside her, and returned to her usual composure. 

Suddenly, a thought struck her. She looked at Emyr, excitement flashing in her eyes. “Why don’t we try playing a duet?” 

He responded with a straight face, “I don’t know how to play.” 

“No way!” Charmaine exclaimed in disbelief. 

The esteemed heir of the Crosses didn’t know how to play the piano? That was practically impossible! 

Emyr remained indifferent. “Will this help me negotiate business deals?” 

Charmaine shook her head. “Not for business, but it’s great for romance!”

Emyr seemed to have an epiphany. “No wonder Kane reached Grade 8 in piano. So it was for this purpose.” 

Meanwhile, Kane, happily enjoying his time in the Regal Tavern, sneezed thrice. 

Charmaine was still skeptical. “You really don’t know how to play?” 

Emyr looked entirely at ease. “You can teach me. Maybe I have a natural talent for it.” 

Charmaine’s lips twitched. The great Satan sure had unrealistic expectations–did he really think the talent was something everyone just had? 

“Alright, I’ll teach you ‘Ode to Joy. It’s the simplest.” 

She guided his long, well–defined fingers to the transparent keys, carefully placing them in the right position. 

Her cool, delicate hands enveloped his warm ones as she adjusted his posture precisely. 

“The melody goes like this.” 

Charmaine softly hummed the tune while watching his fingers follow along. 

Emyr played a few notes, but the pressure was uneven.
